Is that why you keep the engine hoist in your hangar??


Avoiding the question altogether, at one time I had a flight instructing
"business" set up which put my Ercoupe in the deductible category for IRS
purposes. Being a two-control airplane, it was ideal for teaching paraplegic
students (really!). I arranged for the adjacent maintenance business to
supply a hoist to place such students in the airplane. A short length of
broomstick to press the single brake pedal completed the arrangements.

Unfortunately, I was unable to attract any such challenged students and my
business lost money for four or five years before it folded. Hey - I tried.
